Holiday art giveaway WINNER, by Michael Jacob on Dec 16, 2009 15:39:03 GMT 1, The winner is BUNNYBOY. Congratulations. My next post below will show entire sequence of numbers.

Here is the piece. Its titled FAIL MARY. It is my first proof of a series I will be doing. Each piece in the series will be unique, and based on different medicines for different cures. There will be ones for general pain, headaches, cancer, weightloss, sleep aid, sex aid, etc, etc. My first one will be titled FAIL MARY: CEPHALGIA. Its the headache version. Ive been doing it with real Tylenol pills. The main pieces are Tylenol regular, while the separating pieces are Tylenol maximum strength. Im just wondering for legal reasons, if I should use real pills or mimic them using fakes painted to look similar (without brand names on them). Any ideas to this concern would help.

This piece came to mind, seeing the countless drug stores and pharmacies everywhere I look. Where towns used to be anchored by chapels and tall steeples, now i see 2 or 3 drug stores on every major corner. we have become reliant on medicine for just about everything we do. This piece is made with generic pill capsules, glass beads, silver plated beads and strung together with coated stainless steel wire.

I hope to be doing a show in the UK this spring. Im still trying to find the right gallery to help and partner with. It will have some of these as well as many other pieces, exploring religion. There will be a few canvases, a few prints, and a bronze sculpture edition which is coming along great.

Thanks again to all the support Ive received from this forum. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.
